Pelosi, adjective: spineless, unwilling to take a stand

In the face of absolute criminal activity, a true representative of the people would not be such a political coward. If Nancy Pelosi were an honest politician (yeah, I know...) she would not ignore charges so serious. She would not say that prosecuting 'high crimes' is 'off the table'. WTF?

The House has voted to send articles of impeachment against President Bush to a committee that is not likely to hold hearings before the end of his term.

By a vote of 251 to 166, House members dispatched the measure to a committee on Wednesday — a procedure often used to kill legislation.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi long ago declared the prospects for impeachment proceedings "off the table."

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, who ran for president earlier this year, insists that his bill deserves more consideration. Kucinich says that Bush committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" when he made a flawed case for going to war against Iraq.

No hearings are expected for impeachment articles already offered against Vice President Dick Cheney.
